Hi Leo,
How are you?
Just a quick hello and to thank you for acknowledging us when we were leaving the restaurant last night. I guess you can feel when people are having a quick glance over at you…… Hope you enjoyed your meal, isn’t Korean food is great! Although I grew up with your music I spent a while afterwards explaining you & your music to my wife and her brothers who are Korean. I can’t sing for &*%# so I’m afraid the rendition of “I feel like dancing” was so bad and I didn’t even dare try “Moonlighting” – singing is best left for the experts).
Have a great time here.
Cheers and take care.

Wow, I see Chris Thompson’s message just signed as C.
Also, sorry I meant to put F1 not f1 as I had put. it was late at night here when I posted that message. I saw Leo’s post’s on Joe Saward’s blog and interesting, you mentioned, Malaya, (know the Grand Prix has been held there too. Malaya is now called Malaysia). Also reading the post regarding the radio recording, I recall Leo Sayer presented a series of ten of his own radio shows on 774 Classic Gold, here in 1998. Leo done a brilliant job of DJ host too. wish i could include some smilies. its brilliant the way you’ve done that. all the best to you too. C
Hi Leo, I fully understand you’re a big fan of f1 and have seen pics of you in f1 on the photograph section of your website, they are wonderful just like you. i too enjoy reading the posts mentioned. and yes, have clicked on the link already. will log onto it in a week from today. know Damon Hill, once played guitar when you sang a song (originally by The Who) titled,
‘My Generation’, at one of the Chiddingfold gigs, I think it was and I was unable to be there but someone very kindly sent me a pic, its near my bed. a big thank you much appreciative. C
Oh, I wonder if that’s Chris Thompson from the SAS Band, Leo Sayer’s musical friends. I have seen Leo’s musical friends perform twice once at the Shepherd’s Bush Empire and secondly at Eastleigh, when Leo was their special guest (at Eastleigh) on Saturday 31st July, 2004. Leo sang a duet with Madeline Bell, if I remember rightly as well as
‘We Are The Champions’and two other songs. I recall that night well, and had a wonderful surprise from Leo Sayer, when he came out just before Judy Tzuke’s support act I think it was, and he spotted me in the front row first a big thank you Leo, much appreciative. I think I recall Chris Thompson being at the Shepherd’s Bush Empire as well as Eastleigh. like the smilies. and have clicked on the link in your message.
all the best to you too. C
Hi Leo, I like you am a massive F1 fan for many years and I enjoy reading your posts on James Allen and Joe Saward blogs so am writing to see if you would consider joining a new F1 social networking and discussion community that is starting on Wednesday 8th September at http://www.gpaddicts.com/forums please bookmark the site and joing all the best.

If you remember back in 2005 I sent you an E-MAIL Letting you know I had a recording of the KING BISCUIT FLOUR HOUR from THE 1970s I recorded off the air from KOL Radio station here in Seattle. Also If you remember I worked at the Boeing Company, I have now retired and getting on in years this recording may become lost or damaged. I would like to send It to you, I really want nothing in return. I just feel you have it. It was a great show and you showed great energy. Its worth the effort I think. Robert
Hi Leo, been browsing through your European photos in the photograph section of your website, and don’t know if its me but have only been able to view 6/14 or 6/20 of them I think it is, and it looks like some of the pics have been removed. Have some of the pics been removed as the photo of you with the title heading ” This Is Making Me Feel Like Dancing Again” doesn’t appear to be there, and just wondering why?
They’re really good photo’s of your European Tour, and Travels, as all your photo’s are really good, Leo.
I appreciate Leo Sayer in all that he does thank you, Leo.
Eric, I watched the video of When I need you, again today which you very kindly said about someone posted on Facebook the other day, And as I watched it, I did too cry and had a lump in my throat. don’t know what we’re going to do about this, know we’ve said about it before earlier this year. and is always in my mind. God Bless
Anjana, thinking of When I need you, again when the recording of
When I need you, took place, I understand, Mr. Sayer was living and working in L.A. at that time and really missing his ex-wife, Janice, who was then back in London. So I guess he so much wanted to be with her, and so he had no problem identifying the lyrics in When I need you.
i always have Leo Sayer in mind would be wonderful to lend
Leo Sayer a hand to his One Man Band. Leo sang
‘When I need you’ during his brilliant show at the recent
once in a life time show and let the audience sing the song on their own for quite a while. I also recall Leo sang ‘When I need you’ on his come back tour show on Friday 3rd April, 1998, and will never forget the look he gave when he sang the words ‘when i’m with you’, and the same when he sang the song at Branigans in Blackpool on Thurs 14th October, 1999, his blue eyes were sparkling like diamonds. I believe the song was recorded at Richard Perry’s recording studio in LA and was a number one hit single in the UK charts in March, 1977. Leo’s song ‘When I need you’, is also my all time favourite.
Hi Ajana, I hope you and I hope Mr. Sayer doesn’t mind me answering your queries of ‘When I need you’ for you where i can. Just seen your queries, have been watching the video of When I need you’ on Facebook, again. When I need you’, was actually co-written by two American writers, Carole Bayer-Sager and Albert Hammond. I believe the song was recorded in L.A. It was during the time when Leo was recording the Endless Flight album (produced by Richard Perry). Leo searched to find covers that he could as if he’d written, as Leo had only recorded his own material up to that point. ‘When I need you’, had been turned down by many major artists and producers when he found it, but Leo and the producers knew they could make it a hit. Leo was in LA on his own, really missing his ex-wife Janice, who was back in London, so he had no problem identifying with Carole Bayer-Sager’s lyric. The music was written/composed by Albert Hammond. It was Leo’s biggest international hit and is now consdiered a classic, of which Leo is very proud. I trust I have answered your queries in detail and correctly
Eric, you too bring back so much memories to me. have watched the wonderful video of When I need you again. its wonderful we feel the same for each other. God Bless
Dear Mr. Sayer,
When you wrote the song ‘When I need you’, what did you have in mind?And under what circumstances/ situations did you sing the song?Where was the recording done? I want to know a few details about it as it’s been my all time favourite.
So would you please tell me some detail about the song.
Hi Eric, its lovely of you to say about the video of ‘When I need you’, and that I bring back so much memories to you. i fully understand where you are coming from and i feel the same for you too. i wish i could be there with you right now. i think of you all of the time and i am so grateful and honoured. God Bless.
Eric, Wow thank you again for very kindly saying about the video of
When I need you and that someone very kindly posted the video on Facebook, much appreciative. I have been watching it non-stop all day today since you said about it, and will continue watching the video and I too did cry everytime watching it.
You too brought back so much memories, you’re my heart and life, you are, God Bless.
Wow, thank you for letting me know much appreciative. i have already seen the video of When I need you since you said someone posted it on Facebook. i too have so much memories of you. said i’m having a job doing things now. God Bless
Wow, thank you for letting me know about the video of When I need you that someone posted on Facebook. I’ve watched the video on there already since you said about that. i’m going to have a job doing things now. You too bring back so much memories, Bless You.
when i need you brings a lump in my throat and tear to my eye too.
i recall you let the audience sing when i need you on their own for quite a while on 2nd july, 2010. will never forget your truly wonderful show that night especially the bobbing when you sang one man band straight after when you sang more than i can say. and i also saw the tears in your eye that time when you were in cbb, seated in the big chair. looking forward to your new cd “The Greatest Hits”, have pre-ordered the album which will be released at Amazon.Co.Uk on 31/08/2010. lots of love C xx
I have a volunteer community service dog with no eyes named Myron. His hobbies include visiting nursing homes and charity events with photo’s of him pictured with various celebrities such as John Paul Young, Kamahl, Ray Martin and many more. Myron and I would love to include a picture of you in his portfolio. We would only take 5 minutes of your time if you would be interested in participating in this.
Just wanted to say thanks for being ever so nice to me after Dueting It For The Kids at State Theatre even though I was rather rude to you. I am going to do a burlesque parody to Thunder In My Heart to show my appreciaton. Hope you remembered to plant my flowers!
And I don’t hate you anymore. There’s worse music than you. Like Michael Buble. Eek.

Dear Mr. Sayer,
as a teenager in 1976, in a dorm at Rostrevor College in Adelaide, Br webb would play your album ‘Just a Boy’ just after lights-out.
And a few years later, my brother and I had the pleasure of seeing you in concert at the Adelaide Festival Centre.
Thank you.
